HEAVY METAL NINJAS | Design | DRUM Playthrough
From the Album 'Interstellar Abduction'.
It's been a while since the last HMN show, so I decided to put together a long overdue video. This has always been one of my favourite tracks to play live. It incorporates a range of different feels and dynamic parts, along with tricky cymbal work. It always takes about a day of practice to get back into "Ninja" mode, to be able to play this music fluently, with feel and power. This was my fourth/fifth take and the drums you hear is all acoustic (me) - No drums in the track.
No sample replacement or triggers used
